My friend has AoHELL, I mean AOL Broadband cable, and I was wondering if I could configure the wireless router to permanently be loggod onto AOL so that it is on as soon as you start the computer, instead of having to start AOL and logging in? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

This is really in the wrong forum, however if you sign on to AOL and go to keyword start-up settings you'll find what you're looking for. If you have the AOL tray icon you can also adjust the startup/sign-on settings.

Since my fiancee has AOL installed I tried to configure it to auto sign on, however it doesn't seem to work properly. AIM supports this feature and it works, but it appears to be broken in the AOL software. :(

I stored her password at the sign on screen, then went to the sign-on settings and selected all of them. When I restart the pc it only launches AOL and I still have to click sign on. If I configure the AOL dialer it will sign on to AOL thru my cable modem without lanching AOL. I even asked some of the AOL geeks and they can't figure it out either.
